Console - Advanced Science - Exotic Particle Amplifier "This Console provides Base BOFF Ability Damage based on EPG (up to 500) and Bonus non-BOFF Ability Exotic Damage based on your EPG (up to 500)". From: https://arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11545483-advanced-r%26d-consoles%21 So... it appears the…

Thanks. Will give it a try. Buff up / contain / yank / electrocute sounds like fun. Tactical captains can do much more than just throw grenades :smile:

This is one of my favorite kit modules. Yanking the bad guys (onto mines) can be a lot of fun. And it's universal :smile:

Using the game's launcher works good. I use it every day. Arc is just an extra layer. If you can find the .exe it's easy to put a shortcut on the desktop or even on the taskbar. Here's what it looks like..

A long time ago the tailor could be launched in a manner that may have resulted in certain things being bypassed so as to be less restrictive. Also when a dev says "characters of race x and alliance y shouldn't be able to wear costume z", the first thing many players will do is to put that very costume (z) on all their…

Things that come to mind.. * Space stats need to be checked in non-sector space. * Traits can sometimes become unslotted. * Things like emergency power to weapons and possibly some other things that are used or take place in combat will fall off gradually after the end of a battle.

Jesse Heinig has left Star Trek Online after more than 13 years. This was his last 10 Forward. He's been working on STO since I started playing it. LLAP Jesse :smile: https://reddit.com/r/sto/comments/1c2b3ww/jesse_heinig_has_left_sto/

When I play a normal difficulty event map it's the only option available. When you play an elite difficulty TFO you have two other options available. TBH I'd rather see both of us playing on advanced maps where there's more hit points available for everybody :smile:

I just beamed out of ESD on Tribble :o

Yes, nothing stays the same forever. I'm still seeing the strange H shaped Borg ships all over the place. Have no idea what they're about. Never seen one on a TV show. Perhaps they were meant to be square but something went wrong and it's a bug that will get corrected? No, this isn't a bug report. So when it comes to…

Me too. The originals were cool ships in their time and quite popular. Revisiting them is something I'm looking forward to.

The author (TheSajuukKhar) does a great job :smile:

When I read comments on how players would like more event maps unlocked for them to solo, all I'm seeing is players asking "why isn't there more event content made for end game players" or even "STO needs a difficulty adjustment".
-
Still haven't seen this happen while playing randoms. Not even once. I'm not doubting your word though. Do you still seem to be experiencing this? Have you considered posting a video? I think it might have been related to a bit of lag some players experienced earlier in the year but this is only a theory of mine.
-
Most advanced or better difficulty players don't want any part of normal difficulty TFO's or event maps, aside from the "event progress". Most of us try to sequester ourselves in various ways in order to not interfere with others when playing forced to play these maps. For example, sometimes when playing ground I won't use…

There's another very good list of things that can be done to make a ship stronger here that's worth a read. I still believe that some of the most effective means shouldn't necessarily focus on investing in new things, but rather on the use of relatively straight forward things, in order to get off to a strong start.

Tactical Kit Module - Graviton Spike Ability: Graviton Spike It's works good :smile:
-
Yes, some maps are different than others. RSP is a good choice on Veril. Hazard Emitters 1 might be a worthwhile option on Satra. It's a decent heal and cleanses the irritating plasma burn the Borg are known for. Having BFAW 1 on Tovan introduces the need to "find something to fill an ensign tactical ability" that doesn't…
-
There's lot's of options for cooldown reduction. Pick the one that works best for you. Don't underestimate the power of a high auxiliary power environment (i.e. using Photonic Officer only) for things like pets, science, and big heals/durability. PO is a viable alternative to A2B these days and doesn't require any active…

Sadly, there wasn't any joysticks to break when I was growing up in Canada. Most of my family had to go north to work in the ice farms in order to make ends meet. A strong person could make almost 10 cents per block of ice shipped to the warmer states south of us. It was pretty cold up in the arctic circle but nobody…

I did a google search for STO and got tons of hits from their own website, social media, youtube, and a variety of other websites offering ratings, reviews, how-to's... Seems they have lots of advertising :smile:
-
So I didn't quite get that right due to shared cooldowns. If using PO1 only for cooldown reduction (which is fine by itself to start with), you're able to use A2D or A2SiF. If using PO1 plus 1x A2B1 or 2x A2B1 for cooldown reduction, you'd have to rely upon RSP. To get keep things simple I'd consider using just PO1 to get…

Your bridge officer abilities selections are good. I'd might give Satra a copy of Hazard Emitters 1 but that's just me. It's handy for putting out fires and a surprisingly good heal. Keep in mind that while the Command abilities you've chosen work very well (they are the same ones I'd use) there are conventional boff…

The "delay" in scheduling the next event is so refreshing that I might even log on to play some RATFOS this weekend :smile:
-
I understand that you'd like to keep some science capabilities on your Romulan and you're correct that some EPG and Control Expertise can help a lot of science based abilities including temporal abilities. I try to keep a little on some of my characters as well. I've found that as little as a single point of EPG in my…

Do you currently have any points into Long Range Targeting Sensors ? Three points into this is preferred for energy builds to reduce energy weapon fall off at a distance. If you haven't already, consider giving Suppression Barrage a try (highest rank possible).

On PC sometimes I quickly go into my chat settings and disable zone chat when the conversation gets really bad.

Energy specific tactical consoles or isomags. Here is a list of things that help with phaser, for example. I stick to just one energy type in a ship's build. My usual choice is phaser or disruptor or polaron (in that order) as they seem to have a good amount of related pieces and sets available from the storyline and…

Some thoughts.. * To me the DSC reputation 2 piece (shield plus one other) really seems to add quite a bit of tank to a ship with it's high regen. It can really help a lot. * I usually stick to a single energy type with my ship's energy weapons. This is important. * Nice skill tree. If you have any boff abilities that heal…
